This joyful book focuses on delicious festive vegetable dishes that are easy to make. The recipes are driven by modern plant-based cooking inspired by kitchens from around the world: with Mediterranean, Asian, Northern European, and Middle Eastern flavors. Chapters include Soups & Breads, Cold Buffet (including canapes, celebration salads, and picnic food), Warm Buffet, Fire Food (including skewers, pizzas, and slow-roasts), Sharing Plates, Sweet Endings, and the Bar (botanical alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails). This is food for relaxed parties with a pick-and-choose attitude, but there are also stand-out dishes to feed the whole gang and more elegant plates for dinner parties.

Recipes include Fig & Goat Cheese Muffins, Blinis with Beluga Lentils & Lemony Cashew Fraiche, Spring Revival Salad, Pizza Nicoise, Kasbah Eggplant Skewers, and Wild Forest Summer Cake. Nina Olsson makes vegetarian cooking fun and sociable - the recipes, in themselves, are worth celebrating!
